a love of all things vintage and homemade

I’m saying a HUGE thank you to Kashi who gave me a Versatile Blogger Award last week. I’d had a couple of pretty miserable days and this was a really lovely surprise. To know that my ramblings and projects are enjoyed really means a lot. And Kashi, who lives a long way from me, feels like a great friend. I think that this is one of the most wonderful things about blogging; making friends and connections with others all over the world, sharing our joys and sadness, and all being part of a pretty great community.

And so on to the rules of the award…

So, now on to 7 random facts about myself

I’m a qualified dental nurse.

Usually I’m reading at least 3 books at the same time – one next to the bed, one by my chair, and one in my bag for when I’m out and about.

I taught myself to crochet to get through a really troubled time.

I play classical guitar and flute.

I still watch Coronation Street.

When I was 7 years old I took part in a gymnastics display for the Queen for her Silver Jubilee.
